    • MU Extension in Jefferson County is resuming some face-to-face operations, programs and classes.
    • Beginning June 1, the University of Missouri changed its policy on social distancing and the wearing of face coverings indoors from “required for all” to “recommended based on vaccination status and situation.”
    • Per CDC guidance, fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a mask or socially distance unless they have a weakened immune system. The CDC does continue to recommend these practices for individuals not yet fully vaccinated.
Watch this video that explains why you should test your soil, how to collect the soil and understanding the results.

We bring Mizzou to you.

Through a network of county offices, the University of Missouri solves problems and engages with communities across all 114 counties and the City of St. Louis.
